Definition and Purposes of Explanation
Explanation is a text which tells processes relating to forming of natural, social, scientific and
cultural phenomena. Explanation text is to say 'why' and 'how' of the forming of the
phenomena. It is often found in science, geography and history text books.
Language Feature
Water in the earth is kept in many places like the ocean, the ocean, the river and the lake. But
don't be wrong, the plants leaves and the land also kept water.
Each day, this water will evaporate with help of the sun. The process where water evaporates
from plants is called transpiration. Afterwards the vapour will experience the process of
condensation where the vapour will condense and turn into a cloud. The form of the cloud
always changes according to weather conditions.
The clouds will move to different locations with the help of wind that bellows vertically or
horizontally. The movement of the vertical wind results in the cloud forming big 'lumps'.
After that, the wind increases the size of the cloud and each cloud will overlap. Finally the
cloud will reach the atmosphere that has a lower temperature. Here the particles of water and
ice is formed.
Eventually, the wind can not support the weight of the cloud and so the cloud that is full with
water will experience a process called precipitation or the process where rain or hail falls to
earth.
Social Function: To explain the processes involved in the formation or working of natural or
sociocultural phenomena.
Generic Structure
In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is not
because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be
forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold and
frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount of
daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the
amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is above the
horizon.
Social Function: To explain the processes involved in the formation or working of natural or
sociocultural phenomena.
Generic Structure
Tsunami
The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and wave
("nami"). A tsunamigk is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is
rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the
overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate
boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunamis, and occur where
denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it
radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water
behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully
into the coastal area.
Bagaimana Terjadi Siang dan Malam
Matahari tampaknya naik di pagi hari, melintasi langit di siang hari dan set di malam
hari. Namun matahari tidak benar-benar bergerak mengelilingi bumi. Bumi berputar
pada porosnya membuatnya tampak seolah-olah matahari bergerak.
Bumi membuat putaran penuh pada porosnya selama 24 jam. Hal ini disebut sebagai
rotasi. Hal ini menyebabkan siang dan malam. Bumi juga bergerak mengelilingi
matahari. Dibutuhkan 365 hari atau setahun. Proses ini disebut revolusi. Proses
revolusi menyebabkan perubahan musim.
Tsunami
Istilah "tsunami" berasal dari Jepang yang berarti pelabuhan ("tsu") dan gelombang
("nami"). tsunamigk adalah serangkaian gelombang yang dihasilkan ketika air di danau atau
laut dengan cepat dipindahkan pada skala besar.
Tsunami dapat dihasilkan ketika tiba-tiba deformasi dasar laut dan vertikal menggantikan air
di atasnya. Seperti gerakan vertikal besar kerak bumi dapat terjadi di batas lempeng.
Gempa bumi subduksi sangat efektif dalam menghasilkan tsunami, dan terjadi di mana
lempeng samudera lebih padat menyelinap di bawah lempeng benua.
Sebagai bergerak massa air yang dipindahkan di bawah pengaruh gravitasi untuk
mendapatkan kembali keseimbangannya, ia memancarkan seberang laut seperti riak di
kolam.
Tsunami selalu membawa kerusakan besar. Sebagian besar kerusakan disebabkan oleh
massa air besar di belakang muka gelombang awal, sesuai dengan ketinggian laut terus naik
dan banjir cepat kuat ke daerah pesisir.
Proses Hujan
Air di bumi disimpan di banyak tempat seperti samudera, laut, sungai dan danau. Tapi
jangan salah, daun tanaman dan tanah juga menyimpan air.
Setiap hari, air ini akan menguap dengan bantuan matahari. Proses dimana air menguap
dari tumbuhan disebut transpirasi. Setelah itu uap akan mengalami proses kondensasi
dimana uap akan mengembun dan berubah menjadi awan. Bentuk awan selalu berubah
sesuai dengan kondisi cuaca.
Awan akan pindah ke lokasi yang berbeda dengan bantuan angin yang bellow vertikal
maupun horizontal. Gerakan hasil angin vertikal di awan membentuk besar 'benjolan'.
Setelah itu, angin meningkatkan ukuran awan dan setiap awan akan tumpang tindih.
Akhirnya awan akan mencapai suasana yang memiliki suhu yang lebih rendah. Berikut
partikel air dan es terbentuk.
text Explanation adalah teks yang menceritakan proses yang berkaitan dengan
pembentukan fenomena alam, sosial, ilmiah dan budaya. teks Penjelasan adalah untuk
mengatakan 'mengapa' dan 'bagaimana' dari terbentuknya fenomena. Hal ini sering
ditemukan dalam sains, geografi dan buku-buku teks sejarah.
